In a stark reminder of the mainstream media's biased approach, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly has once again delivered an enlightening critique on how the liberal press has eroded its own credibility, particularly concerning coverage of Donald Trump.
During a recent interview, Kelly spoke candidly with a New York Times journalist, pushing back against the notion that the media is as impartial as they claim to be.
She emphasized the need for journalists to embrace their biases rather than pretend they have none, and pointed out the hypocrisy in how allegations against Trump are magnified, while similar stories involving Democrats often receive minimal attention.
Kelly stated, "I don’t give a [expletive] about Trump getting handsy with someone 20 years ago. I want someone who will close the border, which he has." Her sentiments resonate with many Americans who are weary of the relentless focus on personal controversies overshadowing the pressing issues affecting everyday life.
She further noted that the media's fixation on Trump's past missteps detracts from more critical discussions, such as the national security crisis at the southern border and the safety of American families. Unlike many mainstream outlets that struggle with credibility due to their overt bias, Kelly's willingness to discuss the complexities surrounding Trump illustrates a growing preference among the public for more authentic and transparent discourse.
Moreover, Kelly's rejection of the traditional "holier-than-thou" journalist mentality underscores a significant shift in the media landscape. Many viewers are turning away from conventional news sources to alternative platforms that acknowledge and embrace the inherent biases in reporting.
In stating that reporting should include subjectivity, she highlighted how this honesty can actually enhance a journalist's credibility. In her view, the problem lies with those who refuse to admit their biases while masquerading as objective voices.
Kelly pointedly addressed the violent implications of the current administration's immigration policies, which have allowed criminal elements to infiltrate the country and endanger American lives, a stark contrast to Trump's policies that prioritized law and order.
This passionate defense of Trump and a call for a more straightforward approach to journalism should serve as a wake-up call for the media, urging them to reconsider their practices and answer to the very public they claim to serve.
As skepticism grows towards a media landscape rife with defeatist narratives, Kelly's remarks reflect a broader sentiment that Americans want leaders who prioritize issues that truly matter, like border security and the rule of law, over political scandal.
The choice is clear for those looking to shape the future: a return to a Trump-led America, where policies protect citizens and common sense prevails over partisan attacks.
